2. The Nature of Human Resource Management

Human Resource Management is very important in the existence of an organization, because it is directly related with employees. The activities of HRM play a major role in ensuring that an organization will survive and prosper. According to Ivancevich 1998: 5, human resource management is the function performed in organizations that facilitates the most effective use of people employees to achieve organizational and individual goals. Therefore, HRM manages all matters which are related with employees or staff. In relation to this, Dessler 1997: 2, says that: human resource management refers to the practices and policies you need to carry out the people or personnel aspects of your management job, which include: conducting job analyses, planning labor needs and recruiting job candidates, selecting job candidates, orienting and training new employees, managing wages and salaries, providing incentives and benefits, appraising performance, communicating interviewing, counseling, disciplining, training and developing, building employee commitment. In line with Dessler’s theory, Noe et all 2003: 5 define HRM as policies, practices and systems that influence employees’ behavior, attitudes and performances. So, it can be said that HRM is described as rules which can give influence to the employees. Byars and Rue 1997 state that HRM is activities designed to provide for and coordinate the human resources of an organization. In short, HRM manages and gives service for the employees. In relation with the nature of HRM, Heathfield defines human resource management HRM as the function within an organization that focuses on recruitment of, and providing direction for the people who work in the organization. In addition, Heathfield also states that Human Resources Management is the organizational function that deals with issues related to people such as compensation, hiring, performance management, organization development, safety, wellness, benefits, employee motivation, communication, administration and training. Notoatmojo 2003: 117 proposes that human resource management is recruitment, selection, development, treatment, and the use of human resource in order to reach the individual and organizational purposes. From the explanations above, it can be concluded that human resource management is one of the aspects in organization, which support the existence of the organization. In the context of course, HRM plays a big role in managing the employees, especially teachers. The way HRM treat the teachers can determine the existence of the course.
